will this meter measure small amounts of resistance .. ie: 5 or 10 ohms?? last digital i bought didn't measure below 400 ohms.

It has a 200 ohm scale, that displays down to tenths of an ohm. Acccuracy at very low values unknown as mine shows 0.6 ohms with probes shorted.

You might be disappointed. Meter can measure down to 10 micro amps according to the manual.

Yes, AC and DC amp measurements via the clamp only. So you will not be able to measure smaller currents using leads. I will add that I've been getting quite accurate readings down to the 1-2Amp range which is great considering the two range selections are 40A & 400A. I love it for the price but for mA current you'll prob need a meter w current leads. (In defense of this unit though; clamp meters were designed for higher current apps...) Hope this helps. JD

It will read 10 amps with out a external shunt. If the external shunt develops a voltage drop of 75 millivolts @ 100 amps. The resistance of the shunt = .0007 ohms. The ammeter internal shunt @ 10 amps would have a voltage drop of 7.5 millivolts. The power dissipation would only need to be 75 milliwatts. Easily done with surface mount components.

I use it to detect bad magnatrons and transisters, and it will show a difference of 1 ohm, the only one I have that will go that low.

I have no idea and I'm not going to try.In general the meter seems pretty robust at measuring large, variable loads in the direction it was designed to measure. My application was an electric bike with a typical voltage above 50vDC and loads all the way up to 1.5kw.

I would think so, since it starts at zero db and reads well above 100 db's. I do not have the meter or its information sheet at home, but I will give you exact info in about a week if you still need more info.

Sorry, this one won't be suitable for such accuracy. For making effective low-ohms measurements you're going to really want something that does 4-wire Ohms measurements as the I·R losses in the measurement wires will be significant if the total resistance under test is so low. Unfortunately those do tend to run several hundred dollars at a minimum.

yes, meter does not work very well, used for about 4 months and never was accurate, stopped using

Yes it's a very good meter -- excellent quality. I found that the beep volume when testing conductivity was too low for my old ears though.

Will this meter measure the DC current being drawn (like, from a battery)? YES!Just remember, it is a digital meter, so it is better suited to measure steady current. If the current fluctuates, the digital readout may look to be jumping all over the place.

It'll measure up to 10 amps. Don't forget to plug the red volt meter wire into the current plug AND put it on the 10 amp range. If you get the wire polarity backwards, the volt meter will just show negative number. You won't blow anything up. However, do remember to move the red wire back to the voltage & resistance reading plug. Forget and you could have a problem the next time you try and read a voltage.Also be looking at the meter reading when you hook it up, if it goes over range disconnect immediately.

I used this meter for general use low voltage 1v -28v dc and some 110v ac. This meter is auto ranging. Looks like your looking for meter that measures milli volts below 1 volt I would not buy this model.

I don't think so. Even if you only use basic ones like voltage, amperage, and resistance, it's nice to have other functions available and it is great to have the accuracy this meter provides. It is very well-made.

You won't notice a difference. There's less than 10 ohms of resistance across the length of the wires.

50 ohms - I actually measured it with an impedance analyzer... very close to 50 ohms non reactive.

I've used the MS2108 to measure 12vdc parasitic current on my RV. Not sure of the overall accuracy (don't have another meter to compare with), but it did seem to be reasonably stable down to 100ma (only used the clamp-on function). I didn't make any measurements less than 100ma, so I can't comment on measurements less than this.
